You were the cement boots around my ankles and I would sink beneath your gaze screaming as I sank to the                                                   bottom. I saw the others the ones who failed your questioning, your mind games of unconscious action and reaction. But with me, I screamed in laughter, as I knew that you'd always let me drown enough to be conscious of                        your ever-changing needs. We were the lime and the sand, our words the water that would be mixed together. We would be concrete            metaphors of each other's needs.. And I found it slightly ***** when you tried to metaphorically drown me in                                        your mind. I always learnt some depth to you the                          longer you let me drown.
